    Everything you want to know and much more can be found there. Including most of the myths and legends around the hobby. They have a very interesting forum too! I am afraid to visit it too often and never as more than a guest. Seems like a magnet for the A t F to me! I can't believe how many people post in that forum and what they say about themselves.

    I will also neither condone nor admonish anyone for doing what they want in their own home. I think knowledge is NOT a dangerous thing. It is a good thing. If only everyone knew more about more things, the world would be a much better place.

    I come from a long line of moonshiners on both the maternal and fraternal sides of the family. The most concise written description I have found is to be found in FireFox, Volume 5 I believe. It includes requirements for and contruction of the still, what goes into the still and when, and lastly how to proof the whisky.

    I have all six volumes of FireFox and will not willingly part with any, as they are out of print. They are, however, available online last I knew.

    Any idiot can run a still. It does take some experience and dedication to the art to make good whisky, though.
    I wish I believed in reincarnation. Where's Charles Martel when you need him?
